Sealed M16 connectors for use in extreme conditions in machinery and lab equipment introduced by Binder USA
CAMARILLO, Calif. – Binder USA in Camarillo, Calif., is introducing molded M16 connectors for use in demanding environments in applications ranging from heavy-duty machinery to precision-driven laboratory equipment.
These sealed connectors resist the effects of extreme conditions like freezing temperatures and exposure to dirt and dust. Designers paid attention to applications in camera systems and pressure sensors. These areas require maximum electrical reliability and therefore a robust connector system that functions under difficult operating conditions.
The triangular design of the M16 connectors easy to handle, even in sub-zero temperatures or when wearing gloves, and are for power and data communications. The molded M16 connectors meet the special requirements for shock resistance, vibration tolerance, and tightness.
Developing the sealed M16 connector had to comply with the M16 standard (DIN EN 61076-2-106) and the stringent AISG standard (for the 8-pin shielded variant) for IP68 sealing and compatibility between different manufacturers.
Optimizing the sealing system resolves existing compatibility issues that have led to insufficient sealing. Additionally, the generation of M16 connectors is lead-free, meeting the EU RoHS2 directive 2011/65/EU, including 2015/863/EU.
